RE: [Harp-L] Cadillac Records CONFIRMED

Are you saying that KW now endorses the Sonny Jr and since 1996 is like a
spokesperson for the amp?  I'm a bit surprised, that's all, after talking to
him a couple of times re: the amp, which on numerous occasions watching him
and T-Birds, have never seen him play.  Just wondering.  I've seen him in
the past few years with the Meteor and an old Fender Concert amp which he
plays in Austin.  He's also double stacked other Fender amps when on the
road.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I have known Kim Wilson since we met at the Soap Creek Saloon  
in Austin when Stevie Ray Vaughn opened up for us, Sonny Terry and Brownie  
McGhee in 1977. I actually got to sit in and say I played with Stevie. Kim
was  
in his turban era, but we got along. Since then in 1996 he endorsed my Sonny
Jr 
 1 that I custom built for him with a single 12 to fit in the dimensions of 
an  overhead compartment of a plane. I called the airlines for there
possible 
space  and Sam Hutton put a great large KW on the front of this amp, which
he 
used  exclusively for his "My Blues" CD. My web site has been completely 
redesigned,  and you can see us with the amp under endorsers. He is very
hard to get 
a hold  of, but he returned my call and he confirmed that he indeed did ALL 
the  harmonica tracks for that movie, except for the before mentioned person

that did  Smokestack Lightning, which Kim said they put more in the
background. 
We have  some plans to meet up when he comes to NYC at the Iridium Jazz club

for 3 nights  with the TBirds. He was concerned about my health and I told
him 
too many good  things are happening in my life right now. I am like Freddie 
Crougar, just when  you think I am gone, I reinvent myself. That is the mind
set 
I am taking  going on the medication all of us with this disease know how 
tough the side  effects are, but I am ready and prepared to take it on, I
have no 
choice. I am  back with my guitar player of 25 years who was doing well 
playing solo, and life  could not be better. So we can put that issue to
rest 
straight from Kim's mouth.  It was really a pleasure to talk with him but
alas, 
Amanda was calling and he  had to go:))) Be well everyone and go see the
movie 
and support KW. Sincerely.  Sonny Jr.
